NJ Election Day bomb threats shut down polling sites — as Mikie Sherrill, Jack Ciattarelli in dead heat


Several New Jersey polling sites have been closed and the voting locations moved on Election Day following bomb threats in at least seven counties — including heavily Republican areas, officials said.

Law enforcement agencies were tipped off about threats made to polling locations across Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic counties Tuesday morning, according to the state Office of the Attorney General.

“Law enforcement officers have responded at each affected polling place, and they have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations and ensure the safety of every voter,” the AG’s office said in a statement.

“Some of these polling locations have already re-opened to the public. At others, voters will be directed to a nearby polling location to cast their ballot,” the office added.

Officials noted that the threats made against the polling site were not credible.

The bomb threats come in the middle of a knife-edge governor’s race, with Dem Rep. Mikie Sherrill in a dead heat with Republican businessman Jack Ciattarelli.
